I just recently purchased a google pixel for work purposes and the power button works just fine but is a little mushy. I know that you can replace the ribbon cable, but what would cause the button to be mushy is the silicone holding the power button or the actual ribbon cable?
I figured it out. It ended up being a the flex cable. Replaced it and no more mushy button

I recently replaced my digitizer on my inspire 4g with great success :laugh:, but now my volume button is broken and i have no Wifi :crying: . I am going to go back in and check the connectors, i just wanted to see if my fellow xda users had any similar problems. how much is a new volume flex cable and where is the wifi connector? I have heard that the wifi antenna is the battery door but what about the connector? also when i removed the black square tape covering my mother board there was a bronze metallic sticker underneath that NO One warned me about hence my now broken volume cable, what the heck is it?

hi when you open the phone you must take the volume flex first because if you dont you break other pieces you dont see now you must put a little piece of flex between the the bottons and the flex and try to press to if works then you put the sticker again so the plastic will not fall that happend to me and thats how i resolve the issue... and the wifi check the antenna to see if is disconected i have open a few phones but never had that happend
OK it took me forever but I finally replaced my volume flex cable and now everything is working except the volume down button! Upon further inspection I noticed "electric conducting paint"(similar to the paint on the battery door,simcard and GPS covers) on the interior of the volume button at the top and bottom. on the bottom where the down button touches the flex cable this "paint" has faded thus no volume down. Can I buy this type of paint? I tried a piece of foil but its to tedious to install.

Hey guys
I just bought one of these (refurbished off cowboom) and i have a few questions.
1) The powerbutton does not "click" it is very soft and i need to push a little (with no response) to get the tablet to come "on". Is this normal or should it give feedback like the volume up/down buttons?
2) I bought a USB cable for this off NewEgg. When plugging in to my computer it communicates fine but the tablet does not read "Charging". Also, when i plug this usb cable in to a wall charger (usb input) the tablet does not say charging, it just charges EXTREMELY slow (possibly only registering as 5v? but still doesnt read charging?) Should i just buck up and get the official cable/charger from Asus or do you think my unit has issues?
This is the cable i have and i plug it in to a USB input wall charger (from my galaxy s3)

It should 'click'. The buttons on the TF101 are a little squishy and loose feeling but the power button should definitely have a click like the volume buttons.
I'd suggest going somewhere local (depending where you are) and picking up an official charger and trying that. If that doesn't work then at least you should be able to return it.

Grea thanks thats what I was looking for. I can RMA it if need be. Perfect. Thank You
I have an infuse with a bad power button, during the repair one of the pads lifted and tore off. Does anyone know of an alternate location I could solder a small wire to in order to complete the circuit?
The pad that came off is the top rear of the button, if you jump the bottom and top rear pads the phone turns on (just to give you a reference of the pad I am talking about). If you don't have an alternate point is there somewhere I could scrape lightly to expose the wire trace in the board and solder to?
I really need help as I cannot turn the phone on at all because the volume down button is bad also but I want to get the power button fixed before I mess with the other button.
hi,
i snapped the thin flex cable for the power button when trying to replace the screen. is there a part i can replace? or will soldering work?
Hi my power button flex cable broke when I replaced my screen on my OPO is there anyway to fix it?
